Nielsen-Massey Tahitian Pure Vanilla Extract for Baking and Cooking, 4 Ounce Bottle

One of the best of all of the vanilla extracts. On the expensive side but worth every penny. Sets your baked goods or sweet potato casseroles apart from ordinary (McCormick or other generic store brand vanilla extracts). My husband loves sweet potato casserole, I listed ingredients and directions the best I could. I don’t measure most ingredients. I bake (till soft, let cool) the potatoes because boiling them takes all the natural sugars out. Peel, cut, arrange on an angle in the baking dish. 1 cup (has to be) organic brown sugar (cost a tad more but much richer in flavor), depending on how many sweet potatoes, 1 1/2-2 cups of white sugar and 1(1/2)-2 sticks of good butter (I use salted with everything, that way I don’t have to add salt), just shake the cinnamon about 1 1/2TBS to 2 TBS, 1/2 tsp of nutmeg, 1/2TBS-1TBS of this vanilla extract. Put all in a non stick saucepan, let butter, sugars, powdered spices all come together (do not melt sugars in post) until you see the beginnings of bubbles on the side. Remove from fire add vanilla, mix, be very careful and pour mixture on sweet potatoes (it’s hot and can burn). Place back into oven at 350° until syrup is fully melted, bubbly and formed a slight sugar crust on the top. If it doesn’t crust that’s ok. Be extremely careful removing from the oven the sugar can and will burn, use good oven mitts or thick towel on baking pan. Let cool, the long it cools the thicker the syrup will become. Enjoy, from a true Louisiana Creolé , that learned from generations of Creolé cooks before me.

The best almond extract I’ve ever used. Wonderful aroma!

I love “Creamsicle” flavors- i.e. orange and vanilla. Knowing Nielsen-Massey’s reputation for quality, I opted to try this. Along with some vanilla extract (my own recipe) I add it to my yogurt. It is a pleasingly sweet orange flavor that gets me that creamsicle taste I was seeking. There is no bitter undertone to it; just a pleasing, sweet orange flavor. Be aware that it is a strong extract, so use it sparingly. (To make that easier, I transferred some to a bottle with a small orifice, so it comes out a drop or 2 at a time.) This is a product I will buy again.

Great price and flavor

Great quality Almond Extract.

Lovely flavor.

This is my first time experiencing a specifically Tahitian vanilla extract variety, or at least that I can think of and almost certainly one this high quality. This is certainly not the most economical vanilla extract you'll find. But it is worth the cost in my opinion. I now have three different varietals from these guys in my cupboard and it seems like they all have their own purposes to which they are best suited. The bourbon is your classic punch you in the face vanilla. It's potent, it's deep, and it's almost certainly what you want for things like brownies, chocolate cake or chocolate chip cookies. But this Tahitian vanilla is a different beast. I'm actually quite surprised just how nuanced it is. It's much more floral, aromatic, and subtle. It's got that wedding cake, vanilla ice cream thing going on that is hard to describe unless you already know what I mean. This is the one you want for any kind of white or yellow cakes, more subtle cookies like sugar cookies, buttercream frostings, custards, and I would suggest any kind of cookie calling for vanilla that doesn't also call for brown sugar or spices. Molasses and deeper or more prominent spice notes would probably overshadow the finer nuances of this vanilla whereas in something like a butter cookie, this vanilla can bring it to life. In short this is the vanilla I would reach for one vanilla is the star of the show. Wherever vanilla is serving a background role or is forced to compete with a larger supporting cast, then I pull out the bourbon. If you're looking for something in the middle go with the Mexican. It's kind of a halfway point between the two. If on the other hand you're looking for something slightly more economical that's just a really great reliable vanilla, NM makes one that is just labeled pure vanilla and not single variety. That's a great everyday vanilla or for anyone interested in varietals.

Quality extracts brand. Preferred by bakers that want the best for their baked goods.

Sabor excelente.

This little bottle packs a punch with flavor.

Smells great, quality product, but the price is exorbitant. £30 is not justified for the SMALL superiority of the tahitian vanilla scent, in relation to a quality madagascan one at less than half the price. Furthermore, I had to pay an extra £15 at the post office for duty, vat and handling. All in all, close to £50 for a bottle of vanilla. Sorry, but it is not that amazing for £50.

La meilleure que l'on puisse trouver

Macht man das Fläschchen auf schlägt einem intensiver Orangenduft entgegen. Wirklich sehr intensiv, so das man behutsam dosieren muss, ansonsten ist es wirklich zu intensiv. Hat man aber einmal den Dreh mit der richtigen Dosierung raus ist es einfach toll
